Carmen Staaf & Friends Play Mary Lou Williams and Monk Carmen Staaf explores the connections between compositions by Mary Lou Williams and well-known pieces by Thelonious Monk, who was mentored by Williams along with many of his bebop-era contemporaries. With Bay Area heroes Ben Goldberg (clarinet) and Hamir Atwal (drums), Carmen will play in solo, duo and trio formats to find new pathways into Williams, Monk, and the common ground between them. This special show is a live sneak preview of the project before the musicians head into the studio the following day; don't miss it!
